Global patterns of helminths associated with gelatinous zooplankton: a missing link in marine parasite transmission

Gelatinous zooplankton are abundant predators and prey in marine food webs, yet their role in helminth (parasitic worms) transmission remains poorly resolved.

Gelatinous zooplankton are abundant predators and prey in marine food webs, yet their role in helminth (parasitic worms) transmission remains poorly resolved. Here we combine a global synthesis of published records with new morphological and molecular observations from the…
